Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter This fitfully engaging affair only really passes muster as a potential pilot for small-screen continuations. Oct 13, 2017 Full Review Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times Unfortunately, it spends little time on the ideas and debate that made the original film so captivating for audiences who discovered it. Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Víctor López G. Espinof Unnecessary sequel in which its post-credit sequence confirms it as a kind of bad joke. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 1, 2019 Full Review Scott Varnham Starburst The important thing is that we want to watch this one again. Rated: 8/10 Jan 26, 2018 Full Review Anthony Ray Bench Film Threat The Man From Earth: Holocene is a sequel that is quite enjoyable, but admittedly not as strong as the first classic film. Rated: 8/10 Oct 13, 2017 Full Review Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International It's hard not to wish The Man From Earth well, if only for being guided so firmly by its own star.

Rick S If you loved the first movie, this is a need to see sequel. Explores the philosophy of religion from a unique perspective and addresses the impact of pollution and global warming. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/25 Full Review Elleana E Completely stupid plot. Acting horrible. College kids trying to unmask Jesus insert eye roll then just leaving him on the ground to bleed out while they take a call, again insert eye roll again. So many loop holes. Yea let’s tie him up till he tells me what I want to hear completely stupid yet again. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Door S This was a terrible sequel. So limp and shallow it doesn't deserve the shadow of the initial film. The lack of closure, plot or resolution is disturbing. Kidnappers escape. Murderers go unaknowledged. It's just a bad movie, greenlit by a ghost in the machine who hopefully will never have that authority again. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Arisa V It's good awful. Very unfortunate because the first movie was good. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Cayden P This movie ruined the series for me. They essentially rewrote the original plot but worse, and made the guy who was supposed to be immortal, mortal. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Nick K Not good, it was poor in everyway the original was good. It was badly written, and added nothing to the story. In fact it took away from the main character. I strongly recommend giving this a hard pass and sticking to the great original. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
